"Money. Just... money": Fortnite community is confused about Magneto being featured in the Chapter 5 Season 3 Battle Pass

The Battle Pass has been one of Fortnite's flagship features, with Epic Games refreshing the Pass every new season for players to acquire new skins and other cosmetics. One of the most exciting aspects of the Battle Pass each season is the secret skin, an outfit that usually features a collaboration between Epic Games and other existing IPs (Intellectual Properties), only adding to the thrilling nature of the Battle Pass.

With the Chapter 5 Season 3 Battle Pass, Epic Games featured the master of magnetism, Magneto, as the secret skin. While the addition of the character to the game's cosmetic library is undoubtedly cool, it has left some players confused about the character's significance within the larger theme of Chapter 5 Season 3.

Why was magneto added? Feels a bit random for him to be added during a season about cars. byu/eggyweggr56 inFortNiteBR

This is highlighted in a recent Reddit post shared by u/eggyweggr56, where the player questioned why Magneto was added to the Chapter 5 Season 3 Battle Pass, expressing confusion at the Marvel villain's inclusion in a season-themed around cars. The Reddit post ignited a flurry of responses from the community, with Reddit user u/Infodoks answering the question and simply stating:

"Money. Just... money"

Other members of the community also chimed in to provide insight on the integration of the Magneto Outfit in the Battle Pass. Reddit user u/Frostbyte_13 drew comparisons to the Ahsoka Tano Outfit being featured in the Chapter 4 Season 4 Battle Pass, a season that was themed around heists and robbers. Meanwhile, Reddit user u/wingnutzx suggested how Magneto being featured makes some sense since cars are made out of metal.

User u/Chance-Order-5385 further reinforced this point, suggesting how Magneto and his powers would be perfect to counter cars in Chapter 5 Season 3. Another user u/Orochimaru27, on the other hand, expressed how every collaboration featured in the Battle Pass is random and rarely makes sense.

Referencing the wackiness of in-game characters like Peely and using that as an explanation, Reddit user u/MrObjective commented:

"We are talking about a game that features an anthropomorphic banana as a key character."

Despite a lack of clear connection to the post-apocalyptic themes of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3, Magneto is still one of the most exciting aspects of the Wrecked Battle Pass and players are clamoring to know when they can add this iconic character to their in-game cosmetic library.

Fortunately for players, Magneto's release in the Battle Pass is not far away, as the character will be unlocked for players to acquire in around 13 days on July 2, 2024, giving us another thing to look forward to in the wasteland saga.
